Solution Summary

This article describes the configuration steps involved in integrating Fortra GoAnywhere with RSA Cloud Authentication service using SAML 2.0.

Integration Types

This article describes the configuration steps involved in integrating Fortra GoAnywhere with RSA Cloud Authentication service using SAML 2.0.

My Page SSO provides Single-Sign-On (SSO) to Fortra GoAnywhere users leveraging RSA self-service portal My Page. When integrated, users must authenticate with RSA to sign in Fortra GoAnywhere. SP-initiated SSO is supported. Modern Cloud-hosted SSO with My Page replaces the existing SAML SSO support with the IDR. Existing SSO integrations using IDR My Applications continue to be supported and will be listed in this document as applicable.

Note: RSA will continue to maintain existing SAML SSO integrations using IDR My Applications. At a to-be-determined future date, RSA will announce the end-of-life (EOL) date for the SAML SSO support with the IDR. For more information Available Now: My Page SSO Enhancements - RSA Community - 680715

Relying Party integration allows Fortra GoAnywhere users’ web browsers to be automatically redirected to RSA Cloud Authentication Service for authentication. With Relying Party integration, Cloud Authentication Service can manage only additional authentication or both primary authentication (for example, user ID and password) and additional authentication.

Supported Features

This section shows when integrated with RSA Cloud Authentication Service using SAML 2.0, GoAnywhere users can authenticate with any of the following multi-factor authentications.
